The backup drive is attached to the Airport Extreme which naturally slows things down but I was wondering if anyone here has any ideas as to whether there is anything I can do about the seemingly endless disk writing.
I used TimeMachineEditor to make them less frequent as the incessant disk-writing noise drove me mad on my work machine (over USB). Like you, I found it always getting ready, doing or tidying up. My home machine (Mac Pro) goes to an internal drive and I don't notice it, so I think it's down to speed of connection. TM is obviously disk-intensive... The back-ups are less frequent but since I do most things in dropbox then move them into archives, TM is more 'oh no I deleted something three months ago' while dropbox is the roll-back-from-recently.
